  1. I ate a "Space Cake" years ago on the train from Amsterdam to the airport. My psychotic break consisted of staring out the plane window at the pretty clouds for 6 hours. Maybe a drool of spittle or two at most. Anyway, still no excuse. Ban them from flying forever. Charge them for the lost cost of the airline. Charge them for assault. Edibles may be the reason, but that's not an excuse. (Not implying that's what y'all were implying.)
  2. That would probably be a better thread. "Where's the national outrage over crash davis's mom's giant ass!!?"
  3. Also, regarding the penis shape: The capsule that contains the "crew" has to be big enough for the "crew" to experience "weightlessness". Which means they need some room to float around in for a couple of minutes. If they just stayed strapped in their chairs, then the capsule could be smaller, with a diameter the same as the rocket booster. But then famous people couldn't do famous shit that the rest of us don't get to do, and what's the use of being a billionaire then? Bonus: a billionaire gets to troll everybody by launching a giant penis. In other words, its all bullshit.
  4. This is exactly correct.
  5. you can rent a refurbished 747 to experience the same thing you experience in that trip- free fall. Same thing you feel for a few seconds on the Guardians of the Galaxy ride at Disney World. But you don't go into "space" in the 747. Space being defined as 62 miles in altitude I believe, a fairly arbitrary height, although I'm sure there is some official reason why "space" begins at that height.
  6. OK, good to know. If she wasn't the CEO who endorsed the guy, then I retract my statement.
  7. Back in my day, you see pick ups in the parking lots with rifles in the back window. Just in case you need to shoot a coyote on the way home I guess.
  8. Oh, you made a mistake? Then do the right thing and resign. Yesterday. Also, the last three or so pages were the good stuff.
  9. As the starter of the Torpedo bats thread, I think I'm slightly peeved by the point you are making here. However, now that I think about it, I know more about phylogeny than I do about baseball, so I'm not sure exactly what my feelings are.
  10. Lets take a break from sucking Gwynne Shotwell's dick and remind ourselves that she willingly works for Elon Musk.
  11. don't forget about the measles. And the cheese. They got some pretty damn good cheese. The cheese might make up for the measles.
  12. I Your fancy cladogram is missing The Wolfen.
  13. Congress will pass some sort of huge bailout and basically buy votes. You get a bailout! You get a bailout .gif
  14. I could be wrong, but this may not be an attempt to avoid shaming anybody, but rather its just easier for the school to give everybody a free lunch than to go through the paperwork about who has to pay however much.
  15. There are very few things that POS give two shits about. pwning the libs being at the top of that very short list.
  16. Well, my sister is a hospital administrator (undergrad and masters at Texas St. - called Southwest Texas back then). She's done pretty well for herself. Makes more money than I do with my UT degree and masters. Of course, I'm kind of a fuck up.
  17. You are probably correct, but China should make the offer, and Canada should still "consider" it. Just to fuck with Congressional R's and DOtArD.
  18. Broke Dick Nazi Boi is mad that he's getting pushed out. Soon, he'll turn on ThE DOtarD.
  19. lol "If a country does not negotiate in good faith"
  20. Next thing we'll see cats and dogs living together.
  21. I tried to explain this to an undergrad working in our lab today. He said most people don't invest in the stock market, like his parents for example, so he doesn't really care about the market crash. His dad is a contractor of some sort. I explained that the people who do invest in the stock market for retirement savings are seeing their retirement savings dwindle away, so they aren't going to hiring your dad to renovate their house anytime soon. Throw in more expensive lumber, tile, nails, tools, new truck, whatever, and his dad is going to get fucked even worse than the "elite." He scoffed, but I think maybe I detected a glimmer of understanding. I dunno. Stupid yutes. As an aside, I'm really glad my retirement is a defined benefit plan. My wife's however, yikes.
